I have a 08 xb and I wanna lower it with springs but I dunno if I should. I have 18' rims that I don't want to rub and I have so many speed bumps and even larger ones that are called speed humps. I don't think it would be a good idea to lower it. What do you think?

[uniqdsn]

i have the same car/problem wut up?

[seppuku27]

TRD springs, NF210or air bags just don't go with Air Ride Easy Street...

Thx I'll check it out

[mcdady099]

it depends on how low you want to go..I just installed sprint springs on my 09 xb and it is slammed.

[seppuku27]

Do you rub with 4 people about 160 a piece on the sprints?

[Velocitysport31]

ive had for avrage size people in the car, no rubing only if im cornering hard and i hit a bump, if you have 18's you shouldnt have any problems

Awesome. I might get some then.

Rubbing also depends on the offset and tire size you're running on your wheels. I was riding the K Sports on bump stops up front tucking an inch of tire and not rubbing one bit on the stock steelies before "upgrading" to the TRD 19s which needed a good half inch of fender clearance to keep from rubbing.. Hotchkis sways help quite a bit with the cornering where most if any rubbing occured. I also have the coils set to extremely stiff

if u just want the sporty look i would just go with a non aggressive drop, as mentioned before, tanabe NF's are a good choice.

What's the diff between the NF and DF in terms of stiffness/rubbing? I know the DF lowers the car a bit more then the NF.

[shawnofthedead420]

df=drop feel
nf=natural feel
i think it refers to the stiffness. the df is a bit lower of a drop. i have the df210's, and to me they feel great.

I know there's tons of peeps riding on DF210 and love it, but I commute about 100 mile a day. I know NF210 (from what I've read at least) rides softer. I guess my question is... Does anyone have a pic of their toaster riding on 19's with NF210 and will it scrap on the freeway?

Thanks shwan for your input.

[seppuku27]

There are a few people rolling around on 20's and NF210's. They say they don't scrape. Theres a bunch of different variables with rims (width, offset, tire size) and alignment settings. Keep that in mind. I believe you wouldn't have a problem with 19's and NF210.

Depends on how low you wanna go. A friend of mine with 2 gen xb has 19's with a 1.5in drop all around and he gets some rubbing. no big deal but it does rub.

Rubbing where at? Whats the rim specs and what springs is he on?

[BoogerXB]

I have no clue what tires they are but it's eibach 1.5 drop with Enkie rims 19X8 I believe.

[seppuku27]

Is it rubbing front or rear? You could always add some more camber in the front.

Whats the offset of the rims?

[DmIzTeR]

I have the sprint springs on 18's like everyone said no rubbage what so ever.
